I'm not an expert on Matplotlib's 3D toolkit, but it sounds to me like you're trying to insert your code directly into Matplotlib itself somewhere? And I don't think that's what you want to be doing. If you already have code to write the blender format then in order to dump, say, the polygons for the model call .get_children() on the Axes3D object and look for the Poly3DCollection. Then call .get_paths() on that it will return a list of all the polygons in the model and the vertices that define them. Check the documentation for the Path class for understanding these.
